<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 3226817, member: 77639&quot;]In 2012, when I started collecting US coins again,&nbsp; I visited both NGC and PCGS websites and was mildly surprised they had active forums.&nbsp; My thought was the forums were marketing tools, and there could scarcely be free discussion in many areas, including grading services, dealers, auction houses, publishing houses, etc.&nbsp; It would be all too easy for a forum member to hurt business with a comment.&nbsp; That the forums are heavily moderated (censored if you like) is hardly surprising.&nbsp; If you participate in these forums, you&#039;re part of company marketing.&nbsp; That&#039;s not to say that your posts won&#039;t help the collecting community, they very well might.&nbsp; However, the forums exist because they are deemed to increase the bottom line of the businesses that own them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
